Who May Serve Papers in Butler County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Ohio's Civ.R. 4.1 calls for a written request before anyone hands papers to a defendant. Mail is the baseline: certified or express mail, or a commercial carrier, with a signed receipt. A request then routes process to the sheriff, to a bailiff for a municipal court's territory, or to a person the court has designated, who must swear to meeting the rule's requirements. See the guide to unclaimed mail and confirm with the clerk what your court requires.
